We help service businesses thrive.
Most of the day goes to chasing paperwork. Dispatch puts your jobs, crews, and invoices in one place, so the hours you pay for turn into work you can bill.
Invoicing one job should take a minute. For most service companies it takes 5 to 15.
The hours are in a foreman's notebook. The rate is in a spreadsheet on someone else's laptop. The signed ticket is on a dashboard two hours north. So someone calls, waits, retypes, and double-checks, one invoice at a time.
Believe it or not, that is still how most service companies run in 2026. Not because people are careless, but because the information lives in too many places.
Where a job's details usually live
- A notebook on the dash of a truck
- A spreadsheet only one person understands
- A carbon-copy ticket in a glovebox
- A voicemail nobody has listened to yet
You pay for 8 hours.
You get about 4.
Every person on your payroll is paid for a full day. Between looking for information, typing it in twice, and calling to confirm it, half of that day goes to the system around the work, not the work itself. Move the sliders to see what that costs your company.
We usually hear 2 to 4 hours. Start low if you are not sure.
You are paying for work that never happens, every year:
$284,544
- Time lost across the team
- $273,600
- Putting invoices together, 288 hours a year
- $10,944
Win back even a quarter of that and it is worth $71,136 a year. That is hours back for customers, quotes, and jobs instead of paperwork.
A truck yard, a repair shop, a field office. The work looks different in each one. The paperwork problem is exactly the same.
Most business software makes it worse, not better.
Too big.
The big-name ERPs were built for companies with an IT department. You pay for the licence, then the implementation partner, then the consultant every time you want to change a field. It is months before you send a single invoice.
Too cheap.
The app that costs twenty dollars a month does one thing. It is cheap until month end, when you find out you still need four others to get paid.
The patchwork.
Excel for rates. An accounting package for the books. A scheduling app, a payments app, and paper for everything in between. Nothing talks to anything, so your people do the talking, all day.
What the usual patchwork costs a 15-person company.
Typical list prices for each kind of tool. Your numbers will vary, but the shape rarely does.
| Tool | Typical price | A year | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scheduling and dispatch app $30 to $60 per user a month | $30 to $60 per user a month | $5,400 to $10,800 | |
| Field app for your crews $25 to $50 per user a month | $25 to $50 per user a month | $4,500 to $9,000 | |
| Quoting and invoicing tool $30 to $80 a month | $30 to $80 a month | $360 to $960 | |
| Online payments add-on $20 to $50 a month, plus fees | $20 to $50 a month, plus fees | $240 to $600 | |
| Spreadsheets and paper Free | Free | Paid for in admin hours | |
| In subscriptions alone | In subscriptions alone | $10,500 to $21,360 | |
And that is before the hours spent moving information between them. Going the other way is worse: a big-name ERP typically runs $100 to $200 per user a month, plus $50,000 to $250,000 for implementation before it does anything useful.
One system. Everything in it.
Dispatch is the ERP for service companies that do not have an IT department and do not want one. The job is entered once, by whoever is closest to it, and everyone from the dispatcher to the bookkeeper works from that same record.
You get what the big players sell, at a fraction of what they charge, set up in days instead of months.
- Quotes your customers approve online
- A schedule board for every crew
- A phone app for operators, nothing to install
- Invoices built from the job, tax already done
- Card payments and automatic reminders
- Reports on which work actually makes money
Your accountant keeps the books where they are. Dispatch sends QuickBooks Desktop clean invoice data today, with QuickBooks Online and Xero coming soon. Your data is hosted in Canada.
If you can use Gmail, you can use Dispatch.
Most business software looks like a cockpit. Dispatch looks like your inbox: a list of jobs, click one, deal with it, move on. No menus inside menus, no manual to read first.
Click a job, see everything
Customer, location, crew, photos, and charges on one screen. No digging through tabs.
Nothing to install
The office uses a browser. Crews open a link on their phone. That is the whole setup.
Learned in an afternoon
No training binder and no consultant. If someone can work their inbox, they can work Dispatch.
Fair questions.
Do I need to be good with computers?
No. If you can send a text message, you can use Dispatch. It is built for people who run service companies, not IT departments.
Will my crews actually use it?
They open a link on their phone. No app to download, no password to forget every week. They see their jobs, update status, take photos, and they are done.
Do I have to give up my accounting software?
No. Your books stay where they are. Dispatch handles everything up to the invoice and payment, then hands your accounting software clean data instead of someone retyping it.
How long does it take to get going?
Most companies are dispatching real jobs within a day or two. We set up your services, rates, and customers with you. There is no six-month project.
Can I try it first?
Yes. Book a 20-minute demo and we will set up a free trial with your own jobs, rates, and paperwork. No contract, no strings attached, and no annoying salesperson calling you about deals. If it is not for you, we shake hands and walk away.
